Will any of the Bones exclusive sculpts ever be translated into metal?

I agree with the clockwork dragon sentiment.

Possibly, they all still have to be sculpted, a lot will depend on the sculpt itself. Reaper has sculpts that have never made it into metal because they are just impractical to cast. Or ones like the original astral mauler which just ripped up the molds and has since been resculpted and cast.

I'll be shocked if both the clockwork dragon and the giant undead one aren't made into metal minis.
Every society rests on a barbarian base. The people who don't understand civilization and wouldn't like it if they did. The hitchhikers. The people who create nothing and don't appreciate what others have created for them. Who think civilization is just something that just exists and all they need do is enjoy what they understand of it - luxuries, a high standard of living and easy work for high pay. Responsibilities? Phooey! What do they have government for? - Space Viking H. Beam Piper

They may be very, very expensive in metal, pewter is getting more and more expensive.

Nethyrmaul would probably be pushing $200 easy if he was all metal. Just the base alone, unless it was hollow would probably be $50+

... Pay no heed to proud thoughts, famous champion. Now the flowering of your strength is but for a while. After a while, the time will suddenly come that disease or the sword's edge will cut off your power. Either fire's grasp or flood's surge or blade's bite or spear's flight. Or vicious age, or the flash of your eyes will gutter and burn out! It will be all at once, great campaigner, that death will overpower you.

The undead giant is already in metal.

Of course, he doesn't come with that nifty tombstone club...

I prefer metal but I won't be surprised if some models of the larger caliber aren't cast in metal at all. The just the way the wind's blowin'.
